Hi there! I have been sailing for most of my life, from little dinghies through to big boats Swans, Beneteau, Hallbergs, Farr, Oyster and sailed as part of the Clipper Round the World Race on a Clipper 65. I have a few transatlantic crossings but mostly mooch around the Med or the Caribbean as crew or on friends boats helping with deliveries. Apparently i am a goddess in the Galley but what that really means is that i can make a one pan pizza at 45 degrees!! Love to travel light, with my music, camera and fishing lines..... I live in Abruzzo in the mountains…but sailing is my passion!! Currently in Ecuador hoping to join a Pacific crossing …I have my RYA Yachtmaster Offshore and many transats on delivery or part of working crew. Have just returned from 4 months working aboard a 156ft Tall Ship between Tortola and St Barth! | |
